hi all, happy new year.
hope that you can help me, i recently bought a vaio vgn-fs315e and wish to connect it to my desktop pc. i have a wireless belkin router that i connect this to the internet ith and that my son also connects his with, no problems.
i would like to access a few files on my desktop and also use the printer thats connected to my desktop pc, i have tried all the wizards i could find on the microsoft web sites and on the belkin site but no joy. can i get a i-link cable to go from my new vaio to the router and have it that way.
all your help would be appriciated,
sorry for the long post

Probably better to get a RJ45 patch cable to connect to the router.

Also check your settings, passwords and phrases on the wireless utility

i had thought of the rj45 after i posted, went to get a cable but then found out there are two to chose from,
stright or cross over.

it would be crossover

For connection to the Router "Straight" is ideal although most routers and hubs are auto sensing these days and can deal with either.

Conversely if you want to connect the computers together (Stand Alone) then a "Crossover" is the cable.

No Kris, crossover is for PC>PC, straight is for PC>Switch/Router
